• No Off-Key Sucker Punches Aloud

       STRIKE! mixes boxing matches and contemporary chamber music, with most of the performances taking place in boxing rings. In combining such seemingly disparate genres, the crowd at STRIKE! is unusually diverse. STRIKE! derives much of its fundamental vitality from everyone getting to learn a little about the each other’s “world.” From this odd coupling, STRIKE! […]

    • Infrastructure / Absence, Breakthrough / Containment

      Thursday, 8 May 2008 11:22

      China is undergoing one of the most dramatic transitions in the history of the world. The acceleration of change echoes throughout our society and beyond our borders. Inevitably the changes result in both stimulation and trauma. The past is disappearing and the present is in constant flux. China is becoming more and more dynamic as […]

      Comprised of works created in different media, this exhibition introduces a new fictional model called “Abissology,” or the science that studies the abyss, which is the result of the artistic practice of the artists.

    • Slawomir Marzec at Gallery XXI, Warsaw

      Wednesday, 7 May 2008 10:48

      Thousands of newspaper cuttings, photos, and quotations including the word “everything” hang on the wall around a black pulsating screen. The artist has been tracing the existance of “everything” in our culture for almost two years. This installation is constructed by oppositions—symbols and symptoms, pathos and irony, overflow and the unnoticeable, schematic and idiomatic, and […]

    • Crossing Borders

      Tuesday, 6 May 2008 12:10

      Biology is no different from photography, video, or computers, in that it can be used as an art medium. The use of biology as an art medium is not a recent phenomenon. It is likely that ever since early humans have started domestication, animals and plants have been selected, and consequently modified, based on aesthetic […]

    • Indianapolis FYI

      Tuesday, 6 May 2008 11:29

      With its famous Speedway, the once champion Colts, and the popular Pacers, Indianapolis is first and foremost a sports town. What most do not know is that Indianapolis has an art scene–albeit limited–with one world-class institution, the Indianapolis Museum of Art (IMA), as its core. At the IMA, you will find a number of stellar […]

      I think I could say that at the basis of my work is a very clear and emotional notion of the relativity of life itself, and consequently of conventions, of the meaningful difference between interior and exterior, of private and public, and of the fragmentary nature of the “non-place,” of power, of time, and place […]

    • Korean Venus

      Monday, 5 May 2008 15:01

      When I was a child, I believed that I would have blonde hair and blue eyes one day. That’s because whenever I was watching movies from the West, all Western actors and actresses spoke Korean very well—films were dubbed in Korean. I also thought that I would become a super star like Marilyn Monroe, James […]

    • Under My Skin

      Curated by Carine Le Malet (from Le Cube Art Center), Under My Skin explores one’s relationship to the body, let it be on the inside or the outside. As Le Malet puts it, “This exhibition is about the representation and utilization of your body in order to question your relationship to others: what you choose […]

    • Essential Nature

      Friday, 2 May 2008 11:36

      By using the physical and chemical properties of the materials I work with to mimic the aesthetic and symbolic qualities of the subject matter, I try to create a deeper understanding of the essential nature shared by all things.   Susan Muñoz Susan Muñoz, Beneath the Surface #3.
